The Current iPhone Range • If you’re about to buy a new iPhone, you have a wealth of models to choose from. There’s the low-cost second generation iPhone SE, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and the 12 mini, and four different iPhone 13s; the regular, mini, Pro and Pro Max models. Some selected outlets offer other models in the iPhone 11 and 12 ranges too. Here’s a guide to the iPhone models currently available from the Apple Store.

The iPhone 12 and 12 mini • Apple’s amazing iPhone 12 is still turning heads and rightly so, and it’s absolutely great. Let’s find out why it’s so good, and how it improves on its already-excellent predecessor.

Meet the iPhone 13 and mini! • Apple has released the iPhone 13 and the 13 mini. Let’s look at these two new iPhones, and why you should be excited.

Cameras on the iPhone 13 and 13 mini • The iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini have the same cameras, and Apple has revised the camera arrangement on the new iPhone 13 and 13 mini models. They’re now positioned diagonally.

Meet the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max • Apple’s amazing iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have arrived, and they’re looking great. Let’s find out why they’re so good, and how they improve on its already-excellent predecessor, the iPhone 12 Pro.

Cameras on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max • The Pro-level iPhone 13 features the most advanced camera system ever seen on an iPhone. It’s packed with some great technologies, and although not a massive step up from its predecessor, it takes some great shots.

Set Up Your iPhone Start with it • If you’re setting up your new iPhone straight out of the box, follow this guide as we take you through the extremely important first time setup. Learn how to set up all the core functions of your iPhone, from switching it on for the first time to making your first phone call. Whichever model of iPhone you own, with our help you’ll soon be up and running.

iOS 15 Home Screen How to Organise it • The Home screen is at the heart of your iPhone. It’s through the Home screen you open apps, organise them into folders, edit and use Home screen widgets and more. The previous release of the iOS operating system brought some great new features such as the App Library and using Widgets on the Home screen. Follow this guide to master your iPhone’s Home screen.

Notification Centre Information Feature • The Notification Centre in iOS 15 has had a great visual redesign. Now, when you get notifications from people, such as incoming messages, their photo is displayed next to the notification. Notifications from apps have bigger icons showing which app sent them, and non-urgent notifications can be collated and delivered when you’re not as busy. Read on to find out how to organise and use your notifications.

The Current iPad Range • The iPad has come a long way in the last few years. The current range of Apple tablets are the best ever, and can comfortably be used instead of a notebook Mac as your go-to gadget when on the move. Whether you’re looking for a jumbo-sized 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a handy 8.3-inch iPad mini or something in between, you’ll get years of service from your Apple iPad.
